quote:Izzos is my favorite especially since they got rid of their crappy queso in 2008.

ETA: Their steak is always juicy and flavorful and I like the free grilled onions

i agree. they are still my favorite burrito place. i might like felipes a little bit more but not much. i used to live in colorado, and always missed izzos because chipotle and qdoba dominated the market.

quote:Izzo's and Chipotle are both a cut above Moe's. I like Chipotle. They do what they do well. Their guacamole is really good. I think Izzo's is a notch above them, based on having more options. You get one choice of tortilla flavors at Chipotle (flour), while Izzo's has 4 (flour, wheat, cayenne and spinach). Toppings at both places are very fresh. Again, Izzo's has more variety like fresh jalepenos, sauteed onions, grilled mushrooms, none of which you can get at Chipotle. I like Izzo's house made sauces (illegal and Habenero). Chipotle has Tabasco bottles. Izzo's pork > Chipotle's pork. Chipotle's chicken > Izzo's chicken. Steak is a wash. Izzo's has grilled shrimp. Izzo's has queso.

Chipotle is probably the closest to Izzo's in terms of fresh ingredients, but Izzo's takes it beyond with more options. That said, I rarely leave Chipotle disappointed either. But I do like having the other choices at Izzo's.

You and I could not be more aligned on this topic. It's scary how you wrote my exact opinion.

quote:none of them are much better than the others...they are all pretty much the same.

anyone saying one is much better is just glassman-ing

I suppose it depends on preference. I think that Izzo's probably has the greatest assortment of condiments

I've only been to Moes a couple times and thought it was ok. Same for Chipotle although I remember thinking that the guacamole was really good for a place like that the last time I went. Of course that was in CA where the produce is fantastic.
